Biography
Daniel Mansour was a senior commander of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in charge of intelligence-gathering in the northern Gaza Strip, and he participated in directing rocket attacks against Israel. During Operation Protective Edge, Israel targeted him, launching a predator drone strike just before dawn on his home in Gaza. The drone strike killed Mansour, ending a big threat to the security of Israel's citizens, who had counterattacked against the Hamas rocket attacks using "Iron Dome" missile-tracking machines. His death came just before a declared seven-hour ceasefire proclaimed by the Israel Defense Force.
